the younger MTB'ers must be good!!

After around 14 yrs. of not riding trails, went out and rode some the other day-on my "96(not 98 like my avatar says) GT Timberline with a Manitou Axel Comp fork, 3x8 drivetrain, and a few other upgrades. I used to ride a lot and didn't consider the bike a hindrance (tho it is heavy for a bike these days). I'm sure my skills and level of risk acceptance at 68 is less than when I trail rode mostly. But wow!, some of the jumps, drops, technical sections that I encountered were impressive. I didn't see anyone riding them the day I was out there, but don't think they'd have built them if they couldn't ride them. Not sure I'd attempt them, even with a dbl-squishy modern mtb. Gonna have to venture back to (hopefully) watch them being ridden, sure I'd be impressed. Don't think I did too badly for my age and "outdated" bike-still like that bike--got lots of use on some challenging trails when that was all I rode. Sorry, no smart phone, so can't post pics of what I saw.
